Scotland's former first minister Nicola Sturgeon manually deleted WhatsApp messages about the pandemic from her phone, according to a report. The UK Covid-19 Inquiry has found that a majority of WhatsApp messages shared among Scottish Government officials during the pandemic have not been retained.
WhatsApp messages sent by Scotland’s former first minister Nicola Sturgeon about the pandemic were manually deleted from her phone, according to a report.
“She has recently submitted her third written statement to the UK inquiry, running to around 200 pages, and expects to give oral evidence again next year when she will answer all questions put to her.” “The UK inquiry has subsequently asked for WhatsApp messages relating to logistics and day-to-day communication, which we are working to provide.
“It is currently understood that although WhatsApps appear to have been used to send messages relating to and surrounding key decisions by some members of Scottish Government, the majority of the messages have not been retained by witnesses.” Scottish Labour has written to the Permanent Secretary to the Scottish Government, John-Paul Marks, asking for an urgent update on the state of data retention in the Scottish Government.
